Chapter 154 She's Rose, Not Harriette
"You may leave," Jonathan sounded icy.
It seemed like a deliberate attempt at masking struth. His abrupt behavior change. was suspicious to Rose.
She mumbled, "You-"
"Don't you want to leave? If so..." Jonathan's voice faded.
He suddenly glanced at her with a predatory look in his eyes, causing her to tremble.
She chuckled dryly and said, "I'll leave."
She was afraid that he might change his mind and refused to release her. She made her way back to the crowds.
Anastasia Young slowly appeared from the intersection next to Rose. She heard that Jonathan was around, so she
made her way here, only to run into Rose. Was Rose with Jonathan just now?
Frowning, Anastasia continued deeper into the gardens and eventually found Jonathan by the wall of flowers,
confirming her suspicions.
Nevertheless, she maintained her pretense of ignorance and asked, "Jon, why are you here alone? | was looking
everywhere for you. Why didn't you take my calls?"
He sat on the bench without so much as looking at her or even listening to her. She looked a little dejected
because of the cold shoulder but maintained a smile.
"Jon, would you like to know who's Grandpa's new granddaughter? Let's take a look, shall we?"
"I'm not going," he replied flatly, for he was uninterested in the identity of Oliver Young's granddaughter. He was
only at the event for Rose,
Of course, Anastasia could guess the reason behind Jonathan's attendance, but as the star of the night, she
hoped that he could see her in her glory. Alas, Jonathan was way more interested in Rose than her. Feeling
disappointed, Anastasia nonetheless decided to use Jonathan's affection for Rose to her advantage.
She remarked, "Miles said that he wanted to introduce a young woman to Grandpa. Aren't you curious? | am so
curious about it."
She put on a look of anticipation. Indeed, Jonathan frowned.
Noticing that, she added, "Miles has never brought any woman home, so | assthis

overheard Grandpa discussing speeding up Miles' marriage..."
Jonathan's scowl deepened. He stood up before Anastasia was done.
She muttered, "Jon."

He left in great strides, leaving Anastasia biting her lips. Jonathan had joined the party as she wanted, but only
because of Rose.
As he was about to vanish from her sight, Anastasia set aside her disappointment and chased after him.
Zac immediately spotted Rose when she returned to the crowd.
He grumbled, "Ms. Schaffer, | thought you'd wait for me. You disappeared after | cback with the wine. Were
you hiding from me?" He was stating the obvious.
She chuckled and replied, "No, of course not. | went on a stroll for sfresh air."
"Looks like you enjoyed it," Zac remarked with a smirk.
It was not enjoyable at all. Rose recalled the run-in with Jonathan. If she knew that would happen, she would've
stayed with Zac and drank instead.
Upon second thought, Jonathan had offered to help her investigate her mother's death, so it wasn't too bad at
all. But what was Jonathan after?
She felt nervous once more as she tried to guess his intention. She was too distracted to even care about the
drink that Zac handed her. She instinctively down the contents,
until Miles wheeled Oliver out.
All eyes were on Oliver, who seemed high-spirited in his wheelchair. Miles wheeled him. around to greet the
guests.
Amid the crowd, Chloe stared in Olvier's direction and attempted a few times to drag Nixon along and chat with
Oliver. However, Nixon's gaze was busy searching for Kelly in the crowd.
He finally spotted her, but Chlose called out to him, "Nixon
"Grandma, Kelly is here tonight. I'll bring her over to greet you," said Nixon, who wanted to change Chloe's
impression of Kelly.
He believed that Chloe would discover Kelly's good qualities with more interaction. Just
as he was about to approach Kelly, Chloe grabbed his wrist unhappily.
"Grandma..."

"Can you man up for once? You keep thinking about Kelly, but she's not as good as you described," Chloe
complained with a disdainful look.
If Rose were to be trusted, Kelly was just a child born out of wedlock. Jamie Shaffer, a spineless man who married
up, had a daughter who was the sage as his wife.
If the news spread in the high society, the Schaffers would be a laughingstock. The Lane Family wouldn't want to
be associated with Kelly.
Chloe shot Nixon a disappointed look and nagged, "You should take an interest in other women, for example, the
new granddaughter that Oliver is taking in today. She might not be related to him by blood, but the sgoes
for a few of his grandchildren. It's no different than being adopted by him."
She added, "If you can win the heart of his new granddaughter, I'll make your dad hand
over the family assets to you."
Nixon furrowed his brows. He couldn't deny the attractiveness of Chloe's proposal. He wanted power in the
family, but the thought of Kelly held him back.
He reasoned, "But | am engaged to Kelly...
Chloe cut him off with a dismissive scoff.
"If you win the heart of Oliver's new granddaughter, | will help you to call off the engagement."
Nixon fell silent. Chloe reminded him,
